Análise das condições de segurança viária para os pedestres em semáforos providos de equipamentos de fiscalização eletrônica – O caso da cidade de Fortaleza – CE

Abstract

The increasing involvement of pedestrians in traffic accidents, coupled with the failure of drivers in front of some engineering measures to reduce accidents involving mainly pedestrians, has been increasing. Faced with this context, one of the measures employed by transit agencies to curb the disrespect charged, have been installing electronic surveillance equipment. This paper presents the construction of a multicriteria model for analysis of safety conditions for pedestrians at traffic lights fitted with electronic surveillance equipment, along with the physical environments in which the equipment is. In preparing the proposed model, we used the methodology Multicriteria Decision Support, for their ability to consider both the quantitative and qualitative aspects and thus able to consider the physical environment and operational aspects that are in the equipment. This model captured the relevant aspects for the deployment of such equipment, according to the experiences of the technicians of the Brazilian traffic department, including technicians Municipal Transit Authority, Public Services and Citizenship in Fortaleza - AMC, national manager of the transit city of Fortaleza-CEBrazil. Through this study, it is expected to present the factors that provide better security when deployed in combination of electronic surveillance equipment in order to assist the technicians of transit in the choice of most appropriate location for deployment of equipment by broader criteria and thus obtaining a reduction in the number of traffic accidents, especially those of a collision.
